Story:Ineos ABS (India) Limited engages in the manufacture and sale of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and styrene acrylonytrile (SAN) copolymer products in India and internationally. Its polymer products include Absolac-(ABS), a plastic resin intermediary product used in home appliances, automobiles, consumer durables, and business machine applications; and Absolan-(SAN), a polymerized plastic resin used in lightings, stationeries and novelties, refrigerators, and cosmetic packing applications. The company markets its products through representatives and distributor/dealers. It also involves in trading polycarbonates.The stock has been buzzing oflate after it announced signing a JV with Bayer for a new company, Styrolution, to produce styrene, with an eye on the increasing competition in the Asian and the Middle Eastern Markets.In the joint venture, 50% of the shares will be owned by BASF and 50% by INEOS. BASF will receive cash consideration following completion of the transaction.BASF and INEOS will continue to operate as strictly independent companies until the completion of the deal, which is anticipated in 2011.This news apart, financially the company is on a sound footing.A debt free company, for its first quarter ended 31st March 2011,the company had an EPS of Rs.11.48, giving an annualized EPS of Rs.46 for the full year, discounting the current price by around 14 times.The buying spike in the stock is in anticipation that the company might soon announce delisting plans as the parent company, Ineos ABS Jersey holds 83.33% stake.Valuations are okay but its again more of a play on probable delisting by its parent.Hold on for a higher price in the near future.


The title of this early pill cabinet can be interpreted as Hirst's response to Max Beckmann's idea of painting as a way of dealing with the 'void'. The early twentieth century artist described, "this unending void whose foreground we constantly have to fill with stuff of some sort in order not to notice its horrifying depth." Hirst exhibited the work in his major solo show at Gagosian Gallery in 2000, 'Theories, Models, Methods, Approaches, Assumptions, Results and Findings'.
With the pill cabinets, Hirst invites analysis of an object by removing it from its conventional context. The formal arrangement and display of the beautifully coloured, handmade pills recalls the cabinets of curiosity popularised by the Victorians. Here, the aesthetic allure of the pills is rendered useless in the face of their unknown medical purpose; Hirst's suggestion being that their power relies on an unquestioning belief that somehow our ills will be cured.

Government will phase out local ivory trade and increase penalties on illicit trade in endangered species from May
******************************************************************************************
A spokesman for the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) announced today (April 23) that the Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants (Amendment) Ordinance 2018 (Amendment Ordinance) will come into effect on May 1. The Amendment Ordinance will take forward a three-step plan to enhance regulations on import and re-export of ivory and elephant hunting trophies and to phase out the local ivory trade, and increase the maximum penalties on smuggling and illegal trade in endangered species to a $10 million fine and 10 years' imprisonment to provide stronger deterrent effects.
The spokesman said, "The Government is committed to the protection of all endangered species including elephants. Species listed in the Appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) are regulated under the Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance in Hong Kong. As the first step of the plan, we will ban the import and re-export of all elephant hunting trophies and the remaining post-Convention ivory items from May 1, for which their import, export and re-export are currently permitted under the CITES.
"For the next step, the import and re-export of pre-Convention ivory will be banned and the commercial possession of pre-Convention ivory in local markets will be subject to licensing control on August 1, and lastly, banning the commercial possession of all ivory. The whole process will be completed by December 31, 2021, and the local trade in all ivory (except antique ivory) will be completely closed down."
Meanwhile, various departments, including the AFCD, Customs and Excise Department and Hong Kong Police Force, will continue to take vigorous enforcement action against smuggling and illegal trade in ivory.
The spokesman also said that the increase in penalties will also come into effect on May 1. By that time, uniform penalties will be imposed for both commercial and non-commercial summary offences. The Amendment Ordinance also promulgates a new set of penalties for offences convicted on indictment. The details of the amended maximum penalties are tabulated below:
For summary offences For indictable offences
Appendix I species A fine of $5,000,000 and imprisonment for two years A fine of $10,000,000 and imprisonment for 10 years
Appendix II and III species A fine of $500,000 and imprisonment for one year A fine of $1,000,000 and imprisonment for seven years
The maximum penalty before the amendment is a fine of $5 million and imprisonment for two years.
For more details of the Amendment Ordinance and the control of endangered species, please visit www.cites.hk or call the AFCD on 1823.

e-Pharmaciae Vol 2 No 2
Registrar Amos Masango briefly reflects on the dynamism and energy of the pharmacy profession, likening its efforts at achieving quality pharmaceutical services to a camera shot. He expresses his optimism for 2016 and praises the determination of the Council and the Office of the Registrar to resolves issues affecting education and training, practice, registration and professional.
Professor Mano Chetty looks back on 2015 and comments on the evolving and increasingly significant role the profession needs to play in the struggle to contain global epidemics and antibiotic resistance. She examines the reasons behind medicine shortages, and provides clarity on Council's plans to enhance the workforce through the introduction of a skilled apprentice to assist the overburdened pharmacist.
Decisions taken at the June and October 2015 council meetings
The following is a summary of some of the issues discussed and decisions taken by Council during its meetings held on 13/14 May and 14/15 July 2015. Other important issues are dealt with as separate articles in this or future editions of e-Pharmaciae.
2nd National Pharmacy Conference
Back by popular demand. The 2nd National Pharmacy Conference (21 – 24 October 2016) at the Durban International Conference Centre puts Pharmacy centre stage in addressing the health care needs of South Africa. It's about scientific innovation and African insight. The 2016 National Pioneer Pharmacy Professional and Facility Awards will also be presented at the event. Submit your nominations for worthy candidate today.
2016 SAPC National Pioneer Pharmacy Awards
The search is on for South Africa's 2016 pioneer pharmacy professional and pharmacy facility. The 2016 SAPC National Pioneer Pharmacy Awards, sponsored by Aspen Pharmacare, will take place at the 2nd National Pharmacy Conference in Durban during October next year. The illustrious pharmacy awards honour the profession's deserving men, women and facilities that raise the bar in the best practice of pharmacy and the level of care they provide to their communities. Nomination forms and criteria for the awards are available on the SAPC website.
Council's online functionality – Going Green
The introduction and expansion of online functionalities is but one small way in which Council contributes towards the 'go green' initiative to preserve the environment. The e-registration system is dramatically reducing the amount of paper used, streamlining processes, saving time and resources, and cutting costs. An additional online registration process (premises approval for training, tutor approval, registration of responsible pharmacists and recording of facilities) was introduced in 2015, and the last set of systems (cession of contract, change of tutor/facility, registrations of assessors and moderators and supplementary training will be introduced in 2016.
Council retain pharmacist's assistants and pharmacy technician cadres
Council initially planned to introduce three new cadres (i.e. Pharmacy General Assistant, Pharmacy Technical Assistant and Pharmacy Technician) and phase out the pharmacist's assistant (i.e. Basic and Post-Basic). In July 2015 Council considered the concerns surrounding the introduction of the new cadres and has resolved to retain the current pharmacist's assistants and only introduce the pharmacy technician as a new cadre.
2015 Inspectors Bosberaad
Councillors and staff members called on inspectors to act as mentors during their inspections and raise awareness among the profession of new legislation directly affecting the practise of pharmacy. Inspectors were also requested to maintain consistency in their investigations and compile clear and comprehensive reports on their findings.
Appointments and promotions
Council regrettably bade farewell to fellow colleagues Ziyanda Mpepo, who has joined the Eastern Cape Department of Health, and Moloko Masenya, who has joined Legal Aid South Africa. Congratulations to Mpho Shisana who was recently promoted to the position of supply chain management controller.
2016 Changes affecting learners, students, interns and community service pharmacists AND the reprinting of expired registration cards
Council continually seeks ways to keep operational costs down to a minimum, and has decided to cut back on the expenses incurred through the printing and mailing of certificates and certain letters. This decision won't affect the reissuing of new ID registration cards, but amendments are going to be made to the expiry dates of the new cards.
Every pharmacist's assistant MUST have an email address from 2016 – it is compulsory
If you are a pharmacist's assistant registered with Council and you don't have your own, reliable email address, it is time to get moving and sign up for an email account. It has been noted that of all the cadres on Council's register system, a large percentage of those without email addresses are pharmacist's assistants. There are many providers that offer free email services so there is no excuse for any registered person to be without an email address.
Pharmacists and Pharmacy Support Personnel found guilty by Committee of Formal Inquiry
In terms of the Regulations relating to the conduct of inquiries held in terms of Chapter V of the Pharmacy Act, 53 of 1974, and in particular Regulation 26, respondents who have been found guilty by a Committee of Formal Inquiry (CFI) shall have their names, together with the summary of the charges and the penalty imposed by the CFI, published in a Council Report.
Pre-registration examination results: July and Ocktober 2015
Full details of the July and October 2015 preregistration examination results have been compiled. The tables show the number of interns who wrote the two papers, and the pass and failure rates.
Review of examination results
Pharmacist interns who failed any of their examination papers and wish to have their paper(s) reviewed or analysed, may apply to Council. A fee is levied per paper for each review to cover the costs involved.
Fees payable to the South African Pharmacy Council for the 2016 financial year. Please note that if you want your registration to be effective from 1 January 2016, you should pay the fees scheduled for 2016 and not for 2015.
Pharmacy Week 2015
National Pharmacy Week in September this year was enthusiastically supported by pharmacists around the country, and they took full advantage of the opportunity to champion the profession and the contribution pharmacists make in the health and wellbeing of the people of South Africa.

Bosch has Google Maps in its sights with onboard ebike navigation
Brand-new touchscreen Nyon display and Kiox updates bring integrated navigation to Bosch-equipped electric mountain bikes
By Alex Evans
Published: June 25, 2020 at 3:06 pm
In a bid to greater integrate widely relied-on tech, Bosch's new Nyon onboard computer, which is mounted on some Bosch-equipped electric bikes, will have built-in navigation with range information along with a brand-new 3.2in colour touchscreen.
Bosch's smaller Kiox computer also get a software update for navigation functionality.
Bosch boosts torque, tweaks eMTB mode of Performance Line CX motor
Garmin Edge bike computers: buyer's guide to all the models
Bosch Nyon onboard electric bike computer navigation details
Headlining the updates to the Nyon onboard computer are its advanced navigation functions.
Although the Nyon relies heavily on Bosch's eBike Connect phone and web apps to transfer routes from third-party programmes such as Komoot and Outdooractive, navigation functions can be controlled via the app or on the head unit's display.
The device has a 3.2in colour touchscreen display.
The nattiest feature on the new Nyon has to be its range-calculating function, though.
Using topographical data on the selected route and taking remaining battery life and current mode selected into account, the Nyon can estimate and visually display on its onboard map how far you will be able to ride before depleting the battery.
If a rider has been using a particularly energy-intensive mode and is likely to deplete the battery, the Nyon can alert them that a different mode should be selected to complete the journey.
It can also tell you whether there's enough range to be able to reach a certain destination in any given support mode.
Recent destinations are listed and points of interest, such as a home address, can be stored, too. The current location can also be saved as a starting point for a route, in the event a rider might want to come back but is unsure of their surroundings.
New maps or map updates are downloaded wirelessly over WiFi, however Bosch doesn't specify whether it's using its own mapping platform or if it's using a third-party map to provide the map data.
With range prediction and mapping, there are fewer excuses to not go riding.
It remains to be seen whether the on-device navigation is as good as Google Maps, Komoot or a manually-plotted GPS track, but it certainly looks like Bosch has been working hard to refine its system.
Bosch also doesn't say whether the navigation function is suitable for on-road use only or whether it includes forest roads, cycle paths, bridleways and waymarked trail centre tracks.
Fitness, customisation, connectivity and device details
Along with its navigation functionality, the Nyon can also calculate calorie consumption (using the bike's onboard cadence, speed and power sensors) and be paired with a heart rate monitor to enhance the data.
The device also compares a rider's current ride performance with their average performance values. This data is then displayed in the companion app and online web portal.
For the casual exerciser, Bosch's app could be a gateway to rides more focused on training, providing them with goals to improve.
Rides recorded using the Nyon and eBike Connect app can then be shared on Strava, thanks to integration with the popular ride-tracking app.
Along with Strava, the Nyon's also compatible with Apple Health, Google Fit, Spotify and Audible. This means app functionality can be controlled using the Nyon's display, as long as a smartphone is connected.
Bosch's app integration opens up the best of the Nyon's features.
The information on the display can be configured and customised depending on your needs and it automatically sets brightness and backlight intensity depending on the ambient lighting. Dark or light mode can be manually toggled, too.
It also features a secondary layer of theft protection, called Lock. If the display is disconnected from the bike, motor support cannot be activated.
The display is a 3.2in touchscreen that is operational when wet and with touchscreen-compatible gloves. The Nyon is rated IP54 and IPX7 for dust and water protection .
Individual ride modes can also be programmed. This lets the user set their own motor support levels for different speeds so the bike can be adapted for personal needs.
The Nyon onboard computer can be retrofitted to any Bosch-equipped electric bike produced since model year 2014 onwards. The new computer is available from autumn 2020.
Bosch Kiox onboard electric bike computer navigation details
The display fields are customisable.
Bosch's smaller colour display Kiox bike computer also gets increased functionality, thanks to a software update.
Although it relies entirely on a connection with a smartphone running Bosch's eBike Connect app, the Kiox can now display turn-by-turn navigation information.
The display's depiction of the route rotates to the direction of travel as the rider takes corners to aid with navigation.
The Kiox has on-screen navigation when it's connected to Bosch's app.
Information such as distance to the destination is also displayed on screen. Other display parameters, such as speed or battery charge, can be customised.
The Kiox software updates are available from summer 2020 and will be downloaded automatically when the Kiox is connected to the Bosch eBike Connect app.
The onboard computer can be retrofitted to all Bosch electric bike systems made from model year 2014 onwards.

Q: C2535 with template-class in unordered_map (Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 CTP6) I'm getting a strange C2535-compiler error while trying to compile the following code:
template<int NUMBER>
class Container {
public:
    bool operator==(const Container& other) const { return true; }
};

namespace std {
    template <int NUMBER>
    class hash<Container<NUMBER>> {
    public:
        size_t operator()(const Container<NUMBER> & state) const {
            return 0;
        }
    };
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
    auto* b = new std::unordered_map< Container<1>, int>(); //C2535
}

Note that if I use a my own template-based Hasher
template<int NUMBER>
class Hash {
public:
    size_t operator()(const Container<NUMBER> & state) const {
        return 0;
    }
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
    auto* b = new std::unordered_map< Container<1>, int, Hash<1>>();
}

the code compiles just fine. And I remember that the code was being compiled without a hitch in Visual Studio 2013 Express.
Question: Is this a VS 2015 - bug or is this behaviour in some way standard-conforming?

A: Actually, this is made ill-formed by a subtlety in §14.5.1/4:

In a redeclaration, partial specialization, explicit specialization or
  explicit instantiation of a class template, the class-key shall agree
  in kind with the original class template declaration (7.1.6.3).

And, according to §20.9/2, hash is declared as

Header <functional> synopsis
// 20.9.12, hash function primary template:
template <class T> struct hash;

Hence try
template <int NUMBER>
struct hash<Container<NUMBER>> { /*…*/ };

instead.

You must be habitually resident in Northern Ireland and have a right to reside in the UK in order to be eligible for assistance as a homeless person and in order to claim benefits, such as Housing Benefit and Universal Credit. You can also be found ineligible for help as a homeless person if you have been involved in antisocial behaviour.
You will only have a right to reside in Northern Ireland if you are lawfully here. Certain people will automatically have a right to reside, such as British and Irish nationals. For people from other countries, your right to remain depends on your nationality and, often, on your work history.
There are different rules for people who are from European Economic Area (EEA) countries and for people from outside the EEA.
It can be very difficult to work out if a person from an EEA country is eligible for homelessness help or for social security benefits. If you are not sure if you are eligible, contact Housing Rights for advice.
Generally, an EEA national needs to have some sort of history of working in the UK in order to be eligible for help. If you have never worked in the UK, but a close family member has you may be able to use this person's work history to qualify for help.
If you are an EEA national who has lawfully lived in the UK for a period of five years or more, you will automatically be eligible for assistance.
Sometimes people will come to another country because they feel that it is not safe or possible for them to stay in their own country, perhaps because of war or extreme poverty. Under a 1951 UN agreement, these people can seek asylum in the country they arrive in. When someone has asked another country for help in this way, they become an asylum seeker.
The relevant agency in that country will then investigate this person's circumstances to see if it is appropriate for that person to continue living in their home country. In the UK, this work is done by the Home Office. If the Home Office decides that it is not safe for someone to return to their own country, that person will become a refugee.
If you are not a citizen of an EEA country, you will only be eligible for help as a homeless person or for social security benefits if your immigration status allows this.
The rules on housing are slightly different where there is a restricted person in someone's household. A restricted person is someone who is not eligible for assistance, is subject to immigration control or has no leave to enter or remain in the UK or cannot rely on public funds to remain in the UK.


The Copper Mountain Mine near Princeton, British Columbia. Source: Copper Mountain Mining Corp.
Copper Mountain Mining Corp. [CMMC-TSX; CPPMF-OTC] on Tuesday August 14 released new results from drilling on a property located near its flagship Copper Mountain mine near the town of Princeton in southwest British Columbia.
The results are from the second phase of a three-phase drilling program that is targeting the New Ingerbelle property, where the company is aiming to add a minimum of 150 million tonnes of measured and indicated resources before commencing a feasibility study on the site's development potential. The goal is define sufficient reserves to add another 10 years of production to Copper Mountain's life of mine plan.
Copper Mountain initiated a three-phase drilling program at the New Ingerbelle Mine last year. Phase One was successful in validating and confirming historical data comprised of 582 drill holes, or 80,500 metres.
The company said Ingerbelle is estimated to host 104 million tonnes, grading 0.42% copper equivalent (0.30% copper and 0.20 g/t gold), based on a 0.2% copper cut-off grade. The company has said a revised resource estimate, using both historical and new drill data, will be completed in the near future, likely in the third quarter of 2018.
"The drill results from our exploration at New Ingerbelle continue to reaffirm our belief in its ability to grow in quality and size," said Copper Mountain President and CEO Gil Clausen.
Drilling highlights from the latest batch of eight drill holes include 102 metres of 0.60% copper equivalent (0.45% copper, 0.52 g/t silver, 0.22 g/t gold) in Hole 181G-10.
Hole 18IG-08 returned 99 metres of 0.56% copper equivalent (0.38% copper, 0.70 g/t silver, 0.26 g/t gold).
The company said it is planning to complete 30 holes in the phase two drilling program. Of that amount, 15 have been reported.
Copper Mountain's flagship asset is the 75%-owned Copper Mountain Mine. The Vancouver-based company is working in a strategic alliance with Mitsubishi Materials Corp., which owns 25% of the mine. The Copper Mountain Mine produces about 100 million pounds of copper equivalent annually with a very large resource that remains open laterally and at depth.
Copper Mountain shareholders recently approved the acquisition of Australia-based Altona Mining Ltd., which brings significant growth potential with the development-ready Eva Copper (Cloncurry) Project and massive exploration potential in the 4,000 km2 (379,000 hectare) mineralized land package all within the highly prospective Mt. Isa area in Queensland, Australia.
Pierre Vaillancourt, vice-president and senior mining analyst at Haywood Securities, said the Altona acquisition could be transformative for Copper Mountain, potentially doubling Copper Mountain's production profile by 2020.
On Tuesday, Copper Mountain shares were unchanged at $1.06. The shares are trading in a 52-week range of $1.85 and 96 cents.

In the 1960s, it was not uncommon for Americans to die of heart attacks in their 50s or 60s.
The effects of smoking, cholesterol, high blood pressure, and obesity on the development of heart disease were unknown. Following a heart attack there were limited treatments for the damage suffered by the heart. Those patients who did not die from their heart attack remained severely debilitated.
The U.S. death rate for coronary heart disease rose steadily during the first half of the 20th century, reaching a peak in 1968.
Had this rate of coronary heart death continued to rise, today, more than 1.7 million lives each year would be lost to heart disease.
Fortunately, the toll is much less — there are about 425,000 deaths each year from heart disease. In addition, the death rate from stroke, the third most common cause of death, has declined by about 75 percent since the early 1960s.
The gain in longevity has been remarkable! Between 1970 and 2005, the life expectancy of the average American increased by 6.6 years; 4.7 years—over 70%—of the increase is due to reductions in deaths from cardiovascular disease. We can attribute this remarkable improvement, in large part, to NIH research.
The concept of risk factors for heart disease—which include high blood pressure, elevated serum cholesterol, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and physical inactivity—is well established. Findings from the Framingham Heart Study and subsequent studies have been translated into messages for health care professionals, patients, and the public, and have guided prevention and treatment for many years.
Public health campaigns are helping people control their risk factors. For example, The Heart Truth, an NIH-sponsored national awareness campaign about women and heart disease, provides tools to help women reduce their risks of heart disease (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/educational/hearttruth/).
Advanced technologies are dramatically improving diagnosis and treatment. For example, if a heart attack is detected early, procedures to open blocked blood vessels can be performed to stop the heart attack before the heart muscle is severely damaged. In addition, implantable cardiac defibrillators significantly reduce sudden cardiac death in those who survive a heart attack but sustain extensive heart muscle damage.
Following angioplasty to widen a blocked section of an artery of the heart, the artery often re-clogs even when a small mesh stent is inserted to hold it open. NIH scientists were instrumental in the development of a stent embedded with a drug that is slowly released and inhibits artery-closing scar formation. Although careful follow-up and anti-clotting medications are required, use of this drug-device combination has been shown to decrease the need for repeated procedures on the same blockage.
Consortia of individual studies that collectively include tens of thousands of participants are helping scientists identify genetic markers of disease risk. Data from these consortia are being analyzed to pinpoint genetic variations that predispose to the development of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. This knowledge will lead to early detection and improved treatments tailored to an individual's risk profile.
The NIH has launched a large clinical trial—Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT)—to test whether intensive lowering of systolic blood pressure to a goal that is lower than the current recommended level will further reduce risk of heart disease and stroke.
The NIH-supported Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network is exploring the use of bone marrow stem cells to repair acute or chronic heart damage (http://ccct.sph.uth.tmc.edu/cctrn/Public/PublicHome.aspx). Network researchers are investigating the types of cells suitable for therapy, optimal numbers of cells to use, and methods for cell delivery, and they are testing for improvement in heart muscle function after treatment in patients with heart disease.
The NIH supports comparative effectiveness research to assess commonly used therapies to determine which of them provide better patient outcomes so that doctors and patients can choose the most appropriate treatments. One such study, the Catheter Ablation vs. Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation (CABANA) trial, is comparing outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (a common type of heart arrhythmia) who are receiving medication versus outcomes in patients who undergo a procedure to alter the heart's pathways that initiate or sustain the abnormal heart rhythm.
Another clinical study, the Aldosterone Antagonist Therapy for Adults with Heart Failure and Preserved Systolic Function (TOPCAT) trial, is testing whether a drug in common use for other purposes is effective in treating heart failure with preserved systolic function, a type of heart failure that often results from high blood pressure. Results are expected to help doctors and patients make treatment decisions.
The "obesity epidemic" experienced by the United States over the past several decades threatens to reverse important progress against heart disease. The NIH has undertaken several efforts to prevent or reduce obesity in children and young adults, including a set of randomized trials to identify effective approaches in individuals and a large project to evaluate community approaches to reduce obesity in children.

"The `Tatting Princess` was done by my group. I asked everyone to bring 14 ins of white edging - any pattern and any width - and then Dinah (one of my group) came to my house one day and we assembled it. It went down well at the Cardiff Show."
It is certainly an original way of highlighting the beauty of traditional tatting, as well as providing a focal point.

About 100 participants on Thursday at the third CARIBSAN webinar "Treatment Wetland Technology for Wastewater Treatment in tropical regions"
The third CARIBSAN webinar took place on March 17th with the goal to inform the technical staff of wastewater utilities in the Caribbean about treatment wetland technology.
This seminar for sanitation stakeholders in the French-speaking Caribbean was intended to introduce technical staff to the functioning of this nature-based solution for wastewater treatment.
This seminar aimed at presenting to the technical staff the functioning of this nature-based solution for wastewater treatment, a solution which can be particularly adapted to tropical islands.
Experts from the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE) in France presented the mechanisms involved in constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment, as well as tropicalized systems for domestic wastewater treatments and the advantages and drawbacks of the technology.
The 104 participants, mostly from French-speaking islands, had the opportunity to ask the speakers many questions.
The CARIBSAN project is co-financed by the INTERREG Caribbean program under the European Regional Development Fund, by the French Development Agency and the Martinique and Guadeloupe Water Offices.

Q: Who Needs a Foot Orthotic?
A: If required, all ages can benefit from a foot orthotic. From minor discomfort in the foot to severe problems such as diabetic foot ulcers, a foot orthotic can help a wide range of patients. A detailed assessment from a footwear and orthotic expert such as a Canadian Certified Pedorthist can confirm if a foot orthotic will assist a patient with a particular foot, leg, or even back problem.
Q: What Does a Foot Orthotic Look Like?
A: The appearance of a foot orthotic depends on what condition it has been designed to treat and with what type of shoe it will be worn. Canadian Certified Pedorthists work closely with their patients on an individual basis to determine the type of foot orthotic that is most appropriate.
The type of device depends on many factors including the patient's lifestyle, athletic activities (i.e., walking, running), foot type, and the problems they are encountering.
Depending on its purpose, the size of a custom-made foot orthotic may vary significantly from being the full length of the foot to a short device that ends behind the metatarsal heads (ball of the foot). Smaller devices are usually designed to fit in shoes that do not have a removable inlay, such as dress shoes.
A foot orthotic can be made from materials ranging from soft foam to stiff carbon, as determined by your Canadian Certified Pedorthist.
Q: Why Is It Important to Put a Foot Orthotic in Proper Footwear?
A: A shoe acts as a foundation for the foot and provides a stable base for a foot orthotic to sit on. It is imperative for the patient to wear appropriate footwear, as the footwear itself is an important treatment method. A foot orthotic can be rendered less effective by placing it within inferior footwear, as the shoe may work against the features of the orthotic. The foot orthotic is only as good as the shoe it goes into.
Q: How Long Will a Foot Orthotic Last?
A: The lifespan of a foot orthotic varies from patient to patient. The materials used to make the foot orthotic, the patient's foot structure, current levels of activity, age and physical condition all have an impact on the lifespan of a foot orthotic. The lifespan of a foot orthotic should be measured not by when the finishing touches (the cover material) wear out but by how long it meets the foot's changing needs for support, correction and pressure redistribution. If your symptoms begin to return it is a good idea to have your orthotic reassessed to determine if modifications or a new device are necessary.
Q: What's the Difference Between an "Orthotic" and "Orthosis"?
A: They are the same – "orthosis" is the clinical term that physicians and healthcare providers may use, and "orthotic" is the more commonly used term by the general public.
Q: What type of training do Canadian Certified Pedorthists have?
A: Canadian Certified Pedorthists must hold a university degree with core courses in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, disease processes and sports medicine. The academic training is combined with rigorous technical training to achieve certification. Canadian Certified Pedorthists are one of the few healthcare professionals trained in the assessment of lower limb anatomy and biomechanics. With specialized education and training in the design, manufacture, fit and modification of foot orthotics and footwear, Canadian Certified Pedorthists help to alleviate pain, abnormalities and debilitating conditions of the lower limbs and feet that if left untreated could result in limited mobility.
Q: Are Canadian Certified Pedorthists required to participate in continuing education programs in order to maintain their certification in Canada?
A: As a requirement of The College of Pedorthics of Canada, who regulates Canadian Certified Pedorthists through a strict Code of Ethics and Standards, all certified Pedorthists are required to complete a minimum of 30 hours of educational training approved by the college over a three year period to maintain certification. Approved educational formats can be obtained through the Pedorthic of Canada's sponsored events or through outside events providing the necessary content that meets the College's guidelines for suitable material.
The College and the association are continually focused on providing the highest standards possible for training and certification of Canadian Certified Pedorthists. They are also constantly working with members to provide updates on the profession and its practices in Canada.
Q: What is the Pedorthic Association of Canada?
A: The Pedorthic Association of Canada is a non-profit organization that provides for the education and representation of Canadian Certified Pedorthists throughout Canada. The association has been responsible for helping the pedorthic profession to grow and mature in Canada in the last 15 years.
Q: Who regulates Canadian Certified Pedorthists?
A: The College of Pedorthics of Canada is the regulatory body that is responsible for certifying members and ensuring that all Canadian Certified Pedorthists adhere to a stringent Code of Ethics.


Why does the EU need an army separate from NATO?
Soldiers of the Eurocorps carry the European flag in front the European Parliament during a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the European flag in Strasbourg, May 9, 2011.
What stands in the way of creating a united European army, and what challenges would it face?
The European Union has once again become preoccupied with the idea of creating its own army. This question was raised by European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker in his annual state of the union address to the European Parliament on Sept. 14.
According to him, one of the options for addressing the problem of European security in the wake of Brexit is the deep integration of the member countries' armed forces. The idea to create a European army was also supported by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and several other Old World political figures.
Why does Europe need its own army?
References to either Russia's "unpredictability and aggressiveness" or the real terrorist threat cannot be applied here. For the so-called "containment of Russia," there is the North Atlantic Alliance, which, however, is powerless in the face of terrorist attacks in Europe.
The new army also cannot be a panacea for the "terrorist disease." The fight against militants needs not more troops, but extensive and professional law enforcement agencies, a wide network of agents and other anti-terrorist structures. They cannot be an army with rockets, tanks, bombers and fighters – you do not fight against terrorists with heavy military equipment.
Is NATO really not enough for Europe, even if the alliance includes the majority of European countries, and has the rule of Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which can be expressed in the motto "One for all, and all for one"?
Is the security umbrella opened over the European Union by, among others, one of the most powerful armies in the world, which has the world's largest stockpile of nuclear missiles – the U.S. – too small?
But perhaps it is Washington's interference in the affairs of the Europeans, its "messiahship" and intrusive impact on the policy of the EU, which often results in losses in the economy (sanctions against Russia), and drawing the EU into unnecessary and unprofitable wars (Libya, Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan), that is the underlying and unspoken reason for the emergence of the idea of "separate European armed forces"?
Europe cannot afford two parallel armies for several reasons. Firstly, even now, a number of states are in no hurry to allocate 2 percent of their GDP to NATO's overall defense budget, which relies mainly on Washington paying 75 per cent of the total. At the same time, the U.S. understands the hidden and long-lasting meaning of the political ideas expressed by Juncker – to minimize Europe's dependence on the White House's military decisions.
Secondly, there are not enough human resources for the new army, either – refugees from the Islamic Middle East and North Africa can hardly be enlisted in these forces.
Francois Hollande has suggested that a European army should be created within and based on NATO.
According to him, the European armed forces must have a certain autonomy. But in an army, which is based on unity of command and unquestioning obedience to the commander or boss, there cannot be any independent structures in principle. Otherwise, it is not an army, but a bad collective farm. Any disobedience in the army is punished by a tribunal.
For specific combat missions, special formations are created, which each country allocates units from its national armed forces. Some provide tank crews, some allocate missile personnel, some supply motorized infantry, signalers, repairers, rear troops, nurses and so on. It is unclear on what principle an integrated European army should be created.
It seems that the talk about a European army and its joint headquarters is another attempt to set up a new bureaucratic structure in order that European officials can continue to exist in comfort, producing paperwork and public declarations, just as they do in the EU and the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly (PACE).
But if a European army is created all the same, how will Russia react? The Russians will work with it as they do with NATO. Let us just hope that the relationship will start with a clean slate and become a friendly one.

8:00 a.m. It is a cloudy day. I reach Shailendra's house as instructed the previous night. Shailendra and his cousins Sundar and Chand are ready to depart, their bags packed and hauled over their shoulders. Along with their family members, they begin walking to the main road. Shailendra's daughter refuses to leave him, so he carries her as he walks. I take a detour as I want to pick up my own backpack.
8: 15 a.m. We reach the main road. The contractor Damodar emerges from one of the alleys, his bags packed and ready to leave. We have missed the 8 a.m. bus to Saharsa, so we wait for the next available transport. Eleven of us are travelling today. Shailendra shows me his fingernails, which have been painted pink and purple. I then notice the nailpaint on his and his cousins' fingernails. Shailendra tells me his wife Sunita applied it the night before. Although they both know the paint will be no match for the cement with which Shailendra will soon be working, at least he will be able to look at his fingers throughout the journey and remember her.
9:00 a.m. Shailendra hails an auto to a halt. Damodar asks him to book the auto till Jadiya, ten-odd kilometres to the west. The nine of us pack ourselves into the auto along with our bags. We goodbye to their relatives. Although everyone is sad, they all realise they have to move on, so the auto leaves quickly.
10:00 a.m. We reach Jadiya, where we board the bus to Saharsa. It rains on the way. We sit close together, but no one really talks to one another. Probably, they are thinking about their families and about the work that awaits them.
12:30 p.m. We reach Saharsa. The train will leave in a few hours, but we have to purchase tickets first. Since the counter for purchasing tickets has yet to open, Damodar tells us to procure enough water to last us through the journey. Shailendra asks me to accompany him as we go looking for a large container which we could fill with drinking water- buying bottles of mineral water for eleven people would be too expensive, he agreed. Eventually, however, Shailendra finds two empty three-litre bottles at a grocery shop, buys them off the grocer and fills them with water for our journey.
1: 30 p.m. Shailendra joins the rest of his co-sojourners in the train after purchasing tickets for all of them (and me). The train is yet to be assigned a platform and has been temporarily stationed on the tracks about a kilometre away from the station. Anticipating a huge crowd, Damodar has asked the others to occupy eleven seats in the unreserved compartment in which we are travelling, since our tickets do not guarantee seats. Tickets cost INR 350, and Damodar has already paid Shailendra for these. The compartment has a total of 99 seats. At this point, there is more than enough room for everyone. We eat lunch, which Shailendra and his cousins have brought from home: puris (unleavened deep-fried bread) with a vegetable curry.
3:30 p.m. The train finally takes its place at the station, and arrives at the designated platform. About sixty people boarded the compartment in which we sat. Shailendra decided to take up his place on the top berth before it was occupied by others. That way, he could sleep in peace.
4:00 p.m. The train departs from Saharsa, as scheduled.
5:00 p.m. We arrive at Samastipur. The compartment is now packed with people. But everyone finds a place to sit, either on the seats or on the floor.
9:00 p.m. Muzaffarpur. We eat dinner: the puris and vegetable curry left over from lunch. Shailendra remains perched on his top berth since there was no place for him to sit on the seats beneath.

So I wrote this post yesterday, and today we tried it out.
The purpose was to give students an opportunity to notice the subtleties in the language associated with three different mathematical scenarios they may need to represent.
We read each scenario out loud and then asked the students to compare and contrast each problem type with their table partner.
Others began by making a list of what they noticed on the back…You can see that this student paid attention to more of the mathy parts~understanding what was meant by a one-variable versus a two variable equation.
And then you'll see below where students were able to make sense of each scenario and the math required. However, the first student used an equation in two variables for the first scenario and created a table to find the solution.
We didn't get to the whole class conversation part of this lesson…I want to talk about each problem type and how to recognize the differences. Notice that two of the students above wrote the equation for the two variable scenario, but the third student created a table. I think we need to talk about why that is. Also, I think I may want to do three more scenarios that would produce equations in standard form, to see if they would recognize the differences then.
I definitely think that this was a useful exercise and would do it again.
One little shout out…one student pulled out their phone because they wanted to check out the equations for the third scenario on their Desmos app!!!
I worked as the math teacher in a k-21 special education facility at the time and immediately understood the benefit of posing problems like this to students with special needs…EVERYONE can notice something meaningful to contribute.
I've been out of the classroom for many years, but this year have returned to lesson plan for an 8th grade classroom that is being taught by a long term sub (the teacher moved out of state in October). I've been in this classroom more often than not–co-teaching with the sub. This has been my opportunity to really try out many of the activities that I have come across on Twitter–YAY!!!
When @MaryBourassa created the new site "Which One Doesn't Belong?", I was excited that she brought this type of problem to the forefront AND gave it a more secondary sort of spin.
A good portion of the students in these 8th grade classes that I am working with are reluctant learners. But, #WODB pulled them all in.
Fo the #WODB task, my students noticed that the 2nd graph was proportional, that the 3rd graph had a negative y-intercept, and that the 4th graph had a negative slope. We needed to have a classroom discussion to determine an attribute for the first graph that didn't fit in with the rest. We ended up talking about x-intercept for that one (a term that they didn't have yet).
All of these observations became questions they asked when playing Polygraphs.
I'm looking forward to making the #WODB problems a larger part of our typical daily routine.

View-blocks are basically anything that blocks the viewer's ability to see something you don't want them to see from a particular vantage point. A view-block could be a collection of structures, a group of trees, a bridge, a mountain range, or just one hill. It could be as obvious as a backdrop placed between one side of a layout and the other; or, it may be very subtle so that the viewer isn't even really aware that his/her vision is being directed at only one scene at a time.
View-blocks are often used to separate scenes. For example when your train is traveling from one city to another, it would be nice to visually separate the cities somehow so that each city occupies its own scene, perhaps even separated by a rural scene. Otherwise, it gets confusing for the viewer.
Each scene should ideally be large enough that your longest train can fit into it comfortably. Otherwise, you will likely have your lead locomotive in Chicago, for example, and your caboose still in Cleveland, which would be pretty difficult to do in real life.
In order to create individual scenes, this usually requires a view-block on three sides. The fourth side is what's left for the viewer to see the scene but not much beyond it. This subtle separation of scenes will not only make your layout very interesting, but it will make it seem much larger than it really is.
A view-block can also be used to provide a sense that there is something beyond the scene that is visible. For example, If you have a road or track (or river) going through a scene and then curving away from the viewer as it goes through or behind a view-block like a forest or hill, which prevents the viewer from seeing where it is going, then you have created an illusion that the road or track must go somewhere beyond the scene that is being viewed, even if it doesn't.
As you plan your layout, try to imagine or draw in where your view-blocks should be placed to make your layout seem larger and more realistic. Even if your layout is largely done, you could probably still find places where you could add a structure or some trees to help separate scenes.
Reference: "Use View Blocks to Extend Your Layout", by Gary Hoover, Model Railroader, December, 2011, p38-42.
Grass-mats are more plentiful now and are available in almost every hobby shop. They are great for smaller layouts – but could be used on larger ones as well.
Place your plywood sheet on a flat surface - preferably a table. You could add a sheet of Homasote or extruded, construction foam on top of that. Glue the layers together with Liquid Nails or similar adhesive. Now you're ready for the grass-mat. First you have to unroll the mat all the way, then reroll it so that the bottom side of the mat is showing on the outside of the roll.
Then place the roll on one edge of the layout. Allow about 1-2 inches of overhang on the end and on each side of the layout. You can cut the overhang either before or after gluing it down, but it's probably easier to do this afterwards.
After it's all unrolled, then you can fold down the edges onto the side of the plywood and either glue down the edges or nail them down. Both is probably better.
If you want to add a hill or mountain later, you can do this by building up the mountain or hill with pieces of foam sheets cut the way you want. Glue the pieces together where you want the mountain. Then cut a section of the grass-mat to fit the mountain you want to cover. Spray the adhesive glue over the mountain and then apply the mat. If you have one of the newer grass-mats that are moldable with heat, you can now apply the heat gun to make the mat conform to the mountain shape. It won't matter if there are wrinkles in the mat here since they can be covered with trees or bushes later. If the entire mountain doesn't get covered, you can add more pieces to fill in the spaces. You can cover the seams later with your scenery and ground cover.
When laying track, there will often be uneven rail joints where one rail is slightly higher or lower than the adjoining rail. This can cause derailments; so you want to be sure those rails are joined flush with each other. You may not be able to see this misalignment very well, but you can often feel it by rubbing your finger along the rail joint. You can then use a small piece of plastic or wood as a shim under the lower rail, or rail tie, to bring it up where it should be. It would probably be a good idea to solder this joint when it's aligned properly so it doesn't get out of alignment again.
As you add more track feeders and electrical accessories - like lights, turnouts, animated motors, etc to your layout, the collection of wires under the layout can grow into a mess of disorganized loops and tangles. If you have to troubleshoot an electrical problem, you have no idea where to begin. As you do your wiring, for each strand of wire that you run, put a tag on it that tells what it's for. Adhesive labels, like those in office supply stores, are good for this.
Then to make your wiring neater and to keep them up and out of the way, attach wooden clothespins, using wood screws, to the underside of your layout or to the inner aspect of the layout legs. Then as you run new wires under the layout it's easy just to put them together with the other wires in the clothespin clips as they run along the underside of the layout.
As you are laying track, if your design calls for an S curve, if you don't do this right you will have constant derailments. You must make sure that the middle section of the S curve is straight for a long enough stretch that your longest car is straight and not on a curve as it goes through the middle of the S. If there is no straight section in the middle of the S curve, or if the straight section is not long enough, you will have problems with it. Better to know now before you have to tear it up and start over!
If your layout is mostly done and you want to add a lighted accessory or structure to the middle of the layout, you could drill down to the bottom of the layout to run your wires through, or you could make good use of your telephone poles on the layout. Use very thin wires and glue them to the tops of the telephone poles all the way from your power source to the accessory. Now who would have thought…?!
Make your era obvious to your viewers by making your own decals or billboard signs using printouts of old photos from the Internet. Find cars, trucks, people and structures from that era to display on your layout. Also, research what locomotives and rolling freight were in use at the time and try to be consistent if you can. This will make your railroad look more realistic.

Jamaicans going for gold in Glasgow
Posted by Athletics Weekly | Jul 23, 2014 | 0
Alex Mills takes a look ahead to what we might expect from Team Jamaica at the Commonwealth Games
Two years on since reigning supreme at London 2012, Team Jamaica are back in Britain hoping to reassert their track dominance at Glasgow 2014.
Appearing rather fresh-faced and inexperienced in comparison to their previous major championship teams, this young squad offers arguably the first insight into life after Usain Bolt for the Caribbean nation.
While Bolt is of course still running at the event, his bit-part role in the relays offers the likes of Warren Weir the chance to take on the mantle of poster boy.
It's not only the youngsters who will go into the event not knowing what to expect either, for several of the more experienced athletes such as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce this will also be their first taste of a Commonwealth Games. In fact, only eight of the 68 chosen for the team have previously competed at the event formerly known as the Empire Games.
Speaking earlier this year about what she was expecting from Glasgow, Fraser-Pryce said: "I'm looking forward to the Games. I've never been there before so you can imagine me trying to actually get there just to see what happens. Everybody says 'the only title you don't have is the Commonwealth title, when are you going to win it?' so who knows what will happen?"
Though if the two-time Olympic gold medallist is to win a title it will only come in the form of relay gold after injury prevented her from attending the Jamaican trials meaning she wasn't eligible to run in an individual event. Luckily for Fraser-Pryce, who had said all along that she wanted to compete at the Games, she was given a place in the 4x100m through the discretion of the selectors.
"They are committed and they put in the work so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens" – Fraser-Pryce on the young Jamaica team members
Asked at the Diamond League in Monaco about the Jamaica team, she said: "It's a young team but inevitably I think that they'll do well. They're motivated and they are committed and they put in the work so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens."
The sprinter's absence from the main events will no doubt further fuel the skeptical idea that the competition has become diluted. Yet despite the sprints being bereft of the US powerhouses, the throws short of more than a few European monsters and the Kenyans given an easier ride without that contest with their East African nemesis the Ethiopians, the fields are, in places, still world class.
Challenging the Jamaicans, particularly on the track, will be the likes of Grenada, Nigeria and Botswana – all upcoming nations in track and field who are all bringing arguably their best ever squads to the Games. Add to this Canada, Kenya and of course all of the home nations and the standards start to look a lot higher.
While of course their small nation's main challenge will come in the sprints, it would appear that Jamaica now possesses a genuine all-round team that could come very close to topping the athletics medals table come August 3.
The Games will provide an opportunity for the likes of 400m hurdles world leader Kaliese Spencer, triple jumper Kimberly Williams, sprint hurdler Hansle Parchment and 400m runner Novlene Williams-Mills to have their best chance of winning their first individual gold medals.
As for what we can expect from Bolt, the world's fastest man could also only offer his services for the relay, after he too missed the Jamaican trials through injury. Unsurprisingly the selectors obliged to his request.
Although Bolt running in the relay may knock the chances of England winning gold, they will be buoyed by the news that at least two of Jamaica's usual 4x100m team will not race, with Yohan Blake, Nesta Carter and Asafa Powell all missing.
All of which leaves Weir, Kemar Bailey-Cole, Nickel Ashmeade, Rasheed Dwyer and Jason Livermore with a chance to shine.
"It's going to be a great atmosphere, almost as if we're in Jamaica" – Andrew Riley on the reception he and his team mates might get in Glasgow
As part of the Glen Mills trio that so famously cleaned up in the 2012 Olympic 200m final, Weir is probably the best known name of the group and, having run the second-fastest time of this year with his 19.82 from New York, he will surely be the favourite. However he hasn't had it all his own way this season, his most notable defeat coming at the Jamaican trials where he lost to Dwyer, twice a World Universities medallist, who won in 20.04.
Speaking in New York it seemed clear that Weir was enthused by the idea of running in the country where his surname originates. However, he also admitted he didn't know much about the place: "Well my grandmother is of Scottish origin but I don't know much about Scotland, I just know that there are bagpipers and that skirt, that I think is called a kilt."
In the women's sprints it's two old heads that will lead their nation's challenge as Kerron Stewart and Veronica Campbell-Brown look to add their first Commonwealth golds to their already glowing collections. Campbell-Brown is a proven championship performer and should provide a stern test for compatriot Stewart and the likes of Trinidadian Michelle-Lee Ahye, Nigeria's Blessing Okagbare and English trio Asha Phillip, Ashleigh Nelson and Bianca Williams when she runs in the 100m.
Williams-Mills, the current Diamond League leader in the 400m, will be hoping to extend her excellent form this season. She has already run 50.05 and will be joined by Christine Day and Stephanie-Ann McPherson. For the men's 400m runners a relay medal, potentially even gold, would appear a more realistic target for a team that includes six runners that have gone sub-45.6 this year.
Aside from the flat races, Jamaica's best chance comes in the 110m hurdles as Parchment, who recently became world leader after running 12.94 in Paris, will attempt to head a historic 1-2 from team-mate Andrew Riley. Riley is joint ninth in the world this year and the second fastest in the Commonwealth.
Speaking in Lausanne about the reception he and his team mates might get in Glasgow, Riley said: "It's going to be an awesome feeling having the whole team there; it's going to be a great atmosphere, almost as if we're in Jamaica."
While it might be hard to imagine Hampden Park becoming engulfed in a mixture of bagpipes and reggae music, it's certainly an idea that should excite fans, especially if we do at any point experience weather similar to Kingston, Jamaica.

Will County to begin first phase of vaccinations of healthcare workers
By: Press Release
WILL COUNTY –Today, the county received more than 4,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, recently authorized for distribution by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The State of Illinois is following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) which is breaking up the vaccination process into four phases, focusing on "critical populations" first.
"Today is a great day in Will County as we witness the beginning of the end of this pandemic," said County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant. "Through this meticulously coordinated effort between the state, the county and county health department and local hospitals, our healthcare workers could begin receiving these vaccinations as soon as this evening.."
The county's allocation was shared among several healthcare sites to begin vaccinating persons in health care settings who may have direct or indirect patient exposure.
"This has been a long road for all of us, and now we enter into the next stage of our fight against COVID-19," said Sue Olenek, executive director of the county health department. "It is great to have the vaccine out and being distributed, but it will take a long time before the general public is vaccinated. That means we must continue to wear our masks properly, be aware of social distancing, and avoid large groups and gatherings, especially during the coming Christmas and New Year's holidays. As we move through the various phases of the vaccination processwe ask for the public to educate themselves and be patient."
Additional deliveries of the vaccine will be available in the coming weeks for residents of long-term care facilities and essential frontline workers, including first responders, grocery store workers, funeral directors, day care workers. Visit the Will County Health Department website: https://willcountyhealth.org/covid-19/covid-vaccine for more information.The complete Illinois Department of Public Health's Mass Vaccination Plan is available on their website: https://www.dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccination-plan.

Q: jQuery highcharts multiline Eu tenho um aplicativo MVC e gostaria de esclarecer algumas dúvidas de como implementar um gráfico com os dados do banco de dados. Eu estou usando jQuery para obter os valores do banco de dados, mas não entendia como pegar esses valores e gerar um gráfico usando Highcharts, eu leio muito na internet, mas não estava claro como obter e colocar os valores no eixo x e do eixo y.
Para os valores de X e Y eixos, estou usando o seguinte:
Dictionary <decimal, decimal> dataResult = new Dictionary <decimal, decimal> ();

Para fazer a consulta no banco de dados e montar a seguinte:
foreach (var item in query)
{
     dataResult.Add (Convert.ToDecimal (item.valorinicial), Convert.ToDecimal (item.preco));

}

Para passar o valor:
return Json (dataResult, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

Para gerar o Gráfico, mudei para:
var options = {
                chart: {
                    renderTo: "container",
                },
                series: [{}]
            };

        $.getJSON("/GraficosLev/GetDadosByGraf", { ...parametros passados.... },
            function (data) {
                var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
                    chart: {
                        renderTo: 'container',
                        ignoreHiddenSeries: false
                    },

                    xAxis: {
                    },

                    series: data
                });
        });

Para a busca dos dados:
Dictionary<decimal, decimal> dataResult = new Dictionary<decimal, decimal>();

        public object GetValuesByGraf(int? idRod, int? idLev, string codLev, string kmIni, string kmFim)
        {
            string tpLev = (from l in db.TIPO_LEVA where l.id == idLev select l.tipo_levantamento).FirstOrDefault();
            //Conta o numero de datas Selecionadas
            string[] codLevant = codLev.Split(',');

            foreach (string i in codLevant)
            {
                //pega os valores do id do codigo de levantmanto para pegar os levantamentos
                int idCodLev = (from l in db.LEV1
                               where l.cod_levantamento == i
                               select l.id).FirstOrDefault();

                if (tpLev =="I")
                {
                    var query = (from iri in db.IRR10
                                      where iri.cod_levantamento_id == idCodLev
                                      select iri);

                    foreach (var item in query)
                    {
                        dataResult.Add(Convert.ToDecimal(item.inicial), Convert.ToDecimal(item.iri));

                    }
                }
            }

            return dataResult;
        }

A: não seria "data" ao inves de "y"
 name: val.key,
 data: val.Value

A: No seu caso (valor inicial e preço), o gráfico poderia ser montado usando este exemplo.

Tem mais exemplos neste arquivo.
Tem mais um pacote no NuGet, o Highcharts.net , mas este não achei exemplos de uso, embora seja feito por um brasileiro e tenha comentários positivos na página do projeto: http://highcharts.codeplex.com/. Acho que seria o caso de testar caso a caso.

A: Observando as respostas e comentários observei que na configuração o renderTo está para o container. Este realmente é o id do elemento que deve receber o chart?
Você também pode definir seu chart usando jquery:
$('#container').highcharts(options);

Usar jquery ($('#container')) ou passar direto no json (renderTo: 'container') fazem o mesmo efeito, portanto utilize apenas uma das opções e confira se o id do elemento confere com o que está no renderTo.
Seu código poderia ficar assim:
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#Submit").click(function (evt) {
     //
     //Algumas Variaveis
     //

        jQuery.get("/ChartLev/GetByGraf", { ...passo os parametros....} }, function (values) {
            $.each(values, function (key, val) {
                data.push({
                    name: val.key,
                    data: val.Value
                })
            });
        });
